Domink's 3rd Birthday

Okay so before I go on about how fun the weekend is. I have to reflect on the fact that 3 years ago. I gave birth to my beautiful boy who I love and adore. It's hard to believe that 3 years ago I had a newborn in my arms. I cannot believe how much he has grown and all the fun things we've already experienced the last 3 years. Dominik is truly such a blessing to me and motherhood is the best thing I've done with my life. He has taught me so many things and shown me the true meaning of life.  I fall more and more in love with him everyday and I try to cherish every moment because time definitely flies by. What's even crazier is that one of my close friends from high school Had her little boy this morning at St Marks hospital and my doctor was the one who delivered her son. It was surreal being at the very hospital I delivered Dom at on his birthday.  Anyway now Dom shares a birthday with Allen Jayden who was born at 7:52 am and was 9.1 lbs 20 inches. Congrats to Rachel and Josh. He is beautiful. I'm not gonna lie it made me so excited for Nic and I to have our first baby together. I can't wait for the day that Nic gets to hold his first born child in his arms. He is already such a great father to Dom and I can only imagine how he will be with his own son or daughter 

But first things first let's get the marriage thing done and a house! ha ha. This is such an exciting time for Nic and I and I can't wait for all the firsts we will have together. I really feel like I'm living in a fairy tale sometimes. Nic makes me so incredibly happy in every way and I feel like he is the missing piece I've needed to complete the rest of my life. It's funny because I want it all to be here now. But I know I need to slow down and enjoy every moment of what we have. 

Anyway on to the weekend details. Little Dom's party was Saturday. We ended up doing it at the clubhouse where I rent. It rained too much Saturday to do it at the park but we made due and it ended up being a ton of fun. I think Dom really enjoyed himself and he made out as far as presents go. You would have thought it was Christmas with all the gifts he got. I'm so grateful for all my friends and family who came to support Dom.  Nic's family came too which really meant a lot to me.  I'm so lucky to have such a great new family and they are so good to both Dom and I. We got Dom his first bike and he was excited. I'm not gonna lie I had a panic attack when I bought it. I started thinking of all the ways he could get hurt. But I know I've got to quit being so protective.  After Dom's party we had to get ready for my birthday celebration with my friends. 

Nic and I were both so exhausted but we got our second wind and it was off to Porcupine Grill and Canyon Inn. It was a ton of fun.  We both have such a great support system from friends to family. A lot of people turned out to both events. I'm glad to say that it's all over until Nic's birthday on the 18th :)   Thanks to everyone who came, it means a lot and we love you all! 

31st Birthday Celebration

I had a wonderful Birthday yesterday. I got lots of Birthday wishes from my friends and family and had a terrific day. Nic and I put an offer in on a home so the last few days have been stressful! We are still waiting to hear back but I have to say buying a house is quite the ordeal.  Yesterday we were dealing with all sorts of things to prequalify etc.. so we both had a pretty rough day. But Nic managed to make my Birthday completely special by having Wine, Roses a card and the 32G Ipod touch waiting for me when I got home. He is the sweetest man alive I swear. He always makes me feel so special.  He also took me to Iggy's where we went on our very first date together which was a year ago today. My how time flies. We were both joking about where we were a year ago and where we are today. I never would have thought a year ago that I would be marrying the man of my dreams and buying a house :) Life could not be any better and I'm so excited for all the great things we have in store. 

This weekend is Dom's party as well. He turns 3 on Monday. We were going to have a party at the park but thanks to Mother Nature we have to move it to the Clubhouse at my condo. I keep reminding myself he is only 3 and I need to quit stressing so much over his party. We are having cake and pizza and I may get a pinata. I thought that would be fun for the kids. Anyway it should be a great weekend stay tuned for pics and an update about this weekend. 

Privatizing My Blog

So I decided to make my blog private so that only people I choose can read what I write.  I've wanted to do it for awhile now but did not know how! So several of you may have gotten an email requesting to view my blog so that is why.  We don't need any crazies reading our personal stuff and I've heard of many people that had strangers viewing their blogs so I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and make ours private as well. Anyway I hope everyone has a great day just wanted to let you know why everyone got emails requesting to view the blog!

Parent Appreciation Day

Yesterday I got the honor of attending Parent Appreciation Day at Dominik's preschool. First of all it was great to get off work at 3:30 but most of all it was fun to go spend time with my son at his school. They had a bunch of activity centers set up and little projects for them to do. It was a lot of fun and neat to see what things they have Dom doing all day long. 

He was so excited to see me and thanked me for visiting him at school. Our first stop was a Dinosaur fossil making center. They were taking marshmallows and toothpicks and making "fossil's". Dom's looked more like a building but it was cute nonetheless. 

Second we stopped off at little dinosaurs frozen in ice. The kids got to take hammers and break the ice cubes open and get the dinosaurs out. That was Dom's favorite. :) I think he just loved being able to hit the ice and splash the water all over everybody but either way it was fun. 

Last but not least Dom read me a dinosaur story. He is Mr. Independent right now and insisted on doing it by himself. He doesn't need his mom anymore because he is a big boy! ha ha.

Anyway it was really fun and I'm so proud of my little man and all he is doing. He is so vibrant and although he is stubborn like his mom. He is my pride and joy and he is what life is all about.  Oh and on a side note potty training is going fabulously he is using the potty almost all the time! HOORAY!  I should also add that Dominik is very excited about having TWO daddy's! It is the cutest thing ever. He says to everyone, "Nic is gonna be my step-dad like my other dad."  It is so cute to see how much he loves and adores Nic. This morning he asked Nic to take him out of the high chair and told him it's cuz Nic is his best buddy in the whole world.  He was even bummed when Nic didn't come to his school. The feeling is mutual because Nic loves and adores Dom too. I scored big time with this guy. He is going to be an amazing step dad and fantastic father.  

Dwight Yoakam

Hello everybody! First of all can I say hooray for sunshine! :)  This weekend was a fun one! Friday night Lacey came over and hung out with us for a bit. I cooked us chicken parmigiana and we played poker and watched Team America. That is one of Nic's all time favorite shows. :) 

Then Saturday my motivated butt actually got up and went to the gym, went tanning and got stuff for Dom's birthday party. I decided to have it at Sugarhouse Park and Dom wants a Spongebob theme. So of course I went and got a bunch of Spongebob swag. We were pretty lazy most of the day and then at about 4:30 we headed to Wendover for Dwight. It was so much fun and he is amazing live. After the concert we decided to gamble for a while. Nic did really good at first and then he lost his mojo and we ended up losing! :( So instead of staying the night we decided to drive home. We were both so tired and ended up getting home at about 2:30. Needless to say we slept in til about 10:30!

Nic had to take Lady to the Vet and I went to brunch with my girlfriends for my Birthday! Birthday week has officially begun between Dom and I's birthday we have one heck of an agenda this week :) Brunch was fun and it was fun to see my friends. Two of them are pregnant and have the cutest belly's ever. After brunch Nic, Dom and I headed up to Park City to see his family. It was so nice up there. The snow has finally melted so we were able to start looking at where we want to set everything up for the wedding.  I'm getting so excited. It's going to be beautiful up there.  I can't believe our wedding will be here before we know it. I'm starting to stress a little over the finer details but for the most part the big stuff is handled.  Nic was even cute about it and was throwing in ideas. He came home Friday with 2 cases of wine he got on sale to serve at the wedding because we are trying to get things a little bit at a time so they don't pile up on us at the end. 

We have an action packed summer coming up too. Nic's friends Chelsea and Eric are getting married in Vegas in June and we will be flying down for that. Not to mention Memorial Day, 4th of July oh and Nic is playing softball. Amongst various other things :) It will be chaos but so much fun at the same time. I'm really looking forward to Memorial. I love camping and I can't wait to be in the outdoors after being cooped up all Winter. Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying this fantastic weather! xoxo

A year ago Nic walked into my life...

So it's been a year since Nic came into my life and although we were just friends at the beginning I knew he would be someone special. From the day we talked on the stair machine at Gold's I knew he was someone I wanted to get to know. 

I remember thinking about him that entire weekend and even talking to my friends and family about this cute guy from the gym I met :) Anyway it all worked out cuz a year later I'm more in love than ever and we are getting married! 

He is my best friend and soul mate and as each day goes by I just fall more and more in love with him.  I'm so excited for the future and all the memories we will make together. He is so great to Dom and I can't wait to have our own kids together because I know what an amazing father he is and will be.  It has been fun growing together over this past year and I can say both of us have changed and grown in a positive way. So babe I love you and thanks for a great year and it just gets better and better and I can't wait for the many more to come!

So to celebrate our One year mark I'm taking him to Dwight Yoakam in Wendover. Dwight is one of his favorites and I know we are going to have so much fun.  

To fill everyone in on our lives. Things are going great and the wedding planning is coming along. We have pretty much everything booked that we need to and now it's just down to the little details. We are also actively looking for a home! So lots of BIG things happening in our world.

Domi turns 3 on the 27th so we are having a birthday party next weekend for him at the park. He is getting so big and is becoming so articulate with his words and sentences. Not to mention the arguing. I'll tell you what that kid is as stubborn as his mother. If he doesn't get his way WHOA world war 3 happens. But all in all he is a great little boy and he is  teaching us more and more about patience.  :)

Even though Dom can be a bear sometimes I'm getting so baby hungry. I can't wait to start our family. We might wait a little bit just to spend some time together. But we are both pretty excited to get started on our family. So there is our world in a nut shell. We are looking forward to summer and camping and fishing and hiking. I hope everyone is doing well.
